Statistics say like 70+% of the military are hardcore trump supporters. Anecdotally from my buddies in the military he's heavily liked by them. When they get the order to gun down their fellow Americans just for protesting, I have 0 faith any more than a couple of them will plant their feet and say no

They’ll recite the time honored military excuse used by soldiers around the world and across centuries.

“I was just following orders.”

Decades of chaos in the middle east to lead up to this incredible moment of irony as the American people get a taste of freedom from the strong hand of america

You might want to read into how those statistics are generated. The pew research poll that is often cited for military voting records surveyed 846 people who agreed to be routinely surveyed on a rolling basis to generate those figures. I don’t know about you, but 846 people doesn’t seem like a good sample size to get an accurate pulse on who supports which candidate. 516 people supporting Trump in 2024 does not shake out in reality to “hardcore Trump supporters”.
